Ingredients:
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 (5 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup cane syrup
1/4 cup finely diced fresh jalapeno peppers
2 cups heavy cream
Directions:
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the chicken evenly with 2 Tablespoons of the seasoning mix. Rub it in well.
The turmeric in the seasoning mix turns the chicken a pretty golden color.
Heat the oil in a heavy 5-quart pot over high heat just until the oil begins to smoke, about 4 minutes.
Brown the chicken in batches, about 3 minutes on each side, then remove from the pot.
Add the onions to the pot and cook, stirring and scraping the pot frequently, for 8 minutes.
Stir in the syrup, jalapeno peppers, heavy cream, and remaining seasoning mix and scrape the pot bottom thoroughly to loosen all the brown bits.
Return the chicken and the accumulated juices to the pot and push it into the sauce.
Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat to low, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is done, about 15 minutes.
Serve hot.
